Almost forgot my broken finger about 7 years ago at the Canal. Busted it shoving it up into the reel spool while trying to break free from the bottom. Later that night , still fishing with the broken finger , it gave out and I dropped a bass i was lipping and it broke my rod. The rod snapped and wipped me across the back hard. I ended the night with a broken finger , broken rod and a big red long welt across my back.
glad that doesn't happen too often!!
